Top marks for Benwick childcare setting

Staff, parents and youngsters at a Fenland childcare provision are celebrating after being rated as ‘outstanding’ by education inspectors.

Flutterbies Childcare, based at Benwick Children’s Centre, received Ofsted’s highest grade following a visit last month.

Inspectors said the provision scored top marks in every aspect of early years education, with leadership and management, quality of teaching, learning and assessment, children’s personal development, behaviour and welfare, and outcomes all being rated as ‘outstanding’.

A glowing report said: “The owners have high aspirations. They strive to create an engaging environment that enables children to think, play, explore and learn according to their own abilities and interests.”
